During Mental Health Awareness Week Edendale Lodge Care Home have transformed an unused room into a staff wellbeing lounge for the care team to have their own space of peace and tranquility.
Recognising that staff need a special space to take time out, to sit in peace, have a cup of coffee and just be, the transformation of an unused room is now a place of quiet contemplation.
Situated within a very quiet spot within the care home, the room features a huge character window, which lets the light stream through, as well as providing views of the surrounding countryside.
Marina Allen, deputy manager at Edendale Lodge says: “It’s a way of saying we really appreciate you and your role, especially after the year our care team has had. Here staff can spend time away from the demands of their day-to-day roles, even if it’s just for five minutes, and take time for themselves - something most carers don’t get a lot of opportunity to do.”
